This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/FO.2ADI/162 Message Board Post: My grandmother always told me that I was of Mayflower descent. I am having trouble finding the link in the fifth generation of John Howland. This is what my grandmother told me: John Howland m. Elizabeth Tilley; Desire Howland m. John Gorham; Hannah Gorham m. Joseph Whilden; Mary Whilden m. Josiah Crowell; Elishabee Crowell m. James Godfrey. I can not find any record of an Elishabee (sp?) Crowell. I can link my ancestry to James Godfrey, I just can't get past that one link. Can anyone confirm or disprove this information? Thanks, Cathy seafellow1@aol.com
